The major problem in solving a problem is to stick with those people who haven't solved the problem themselves.
Lets start with "Are you a speaker or doer ..."
This can be better explained like "are you just a philosopher or a role model".
What is the difference ...
Actually I am a philospher in most of what i talk about in my blogs. I dont get time to try out what i express in my articles. What i feel right, I express those as ideas. Some may work, some may not work. But I leave these crispy feel of life as articles and let the reader decide whether to swallow or dump it.
Lets take the case of Mahatma Gandhi. He is not a philosoper. He is a doer and role model. He said "Tell the truth all the time, no matter what", and he did it. He lived as a role model to non-violence. Many times, he was beaten by cops in freedom struggle and he never even tried to hit them once. That's called living out and being a role model.
who would you contact when you have to make a life turning decision ... to the philosopher or a role model.
Lets take a simple example. I talked to two people about marketing my friends real estate website in india. My friend almost convinced me that FM Radio is the best choice. Its decently priced and most people will be hearing it all time and will make a big successful campaign. then i met a branding guy, who runs marketing top most companies for almost eight years. He laughed first and then told me what my friend missed to understand. 60 to 70 percent of those who hear FM radio in india are teenagers and he asked me "what, your friend is trying to sell properties to teenagers?. I got the point. Its completely easy to take the opinions of others for good, but you got to know from whom you are taking the advice from.
who you contact decides your destiny?
Simple, you want to start a new business. If you contact someone who has tried it and went bankrupt, what can you learn from him ... a feel of disappoinment, the knowledge and fear of driving the business to bankrupty. What if you connect to someone running the business successfully? You will understand tricks of a successfull business.
Your destiny depends on whom you ask for advice. The major problem in solving a problem is to stick with those people who haven't solved the problem themselves. Find out who solved it and get the solution. Life is as easy as it is.
What can you do about it ...
Dont tell me that you dont have a problem. Everybody has a simple problem of theirs. Working in a dull job, not able to continue education, love of their life. There is always something missing in your life, that drains your time every day. Start by writing down the list. Find out who has solved it before. If you cannot, you can always contact the experts. They are in every areas of life from cooking to divorce. Google them, reach out to them and acheive it.
Contact those who have solved the problem themselves ... dont waste your time.
With luv,
Ashok.
